CORVALLIS, Ore. -- When the Oregon State Beavers say theyre looking forward to the Civil War, they really mean it.In recent seasons the team hasnt always seemed quite as sincere about the prospects in facing Oregon, which has an eight-game winning streak in the rivalry.But it has been a disappointing season for the Ducks, who are 4-7 overall and 2-6 in the Pac-12, and likely wont play in the postseason for the first time since 2004.Oregon State, which is 3-8 overall but has an identical conference record as the Ducks, likes its chances at home, especially after a 42-17 victory over Arizona at Reser Stadium this past Saturday night.The Beavers are definitely fired up.Everyone in Oregon is probably going to be there, so were looking to win that one, too, said cornerback Dwayne Williams.Marcus McMaryion, pressed into duty as a starter for the Beavers earlier this season after both Darell Garretson and backup Conor Blount were injured, threw for 265 yards and a career-best five touchdowns against the Wildcats.Oregon State announced on Monday that the Civil War game was already a sellout.Big games are created sometimes by win-loss records or where you sit in the season. This game is a big game every year regardless of the situation or the scenario, Beavers coach Gary Andersen said. Our kids understand that, they know that and its a privlege and honor for them to play in it. Its a game theyll remember for the rest of their lives. The Ducks will be motivated, too.Oregon is coming off a 30-28 upset of then-No. 11 Utah, a victory that was sealed by Justin Herberts touchdown pass to Darren Carrington with two seconds left.Oregon State running back Ryan Nall predicted a fun game. Nall has rushed for 796 yards and nine touchdowns, but his season has been marred by a foot injury.Were going to take off with momentum. Oregon also came off a big win, so they are going to come after us, Nall said. Theyre not going to just going to think, `Oh, its Oregon State. We beat them every year. Its going to be a fun game. Were coming off a big win; theyre coming off a big win. Well see who can execute the best.Nalls Oregon counterpart, Royce Freeman, has had two straight games with 100 or more yards, and seems to have bounced back after a midseason lull. Freeman has 839 yards rushing and nine touchdowns.The last two weeks have been better, theres still time, coach Mark Helfrich said. He did some great stuff absolutely like youre saying, thats the quote-unquote `old Royce. That was good to see.In the end, however, the game may come down to defense, where both teams are struggling.Oregon is ranked 126th in the nation for total defense, allowing an average of 528.2 yards a game, and 126th in scoring defense, allowing 42.1 points per game.The Beavers are allowing averages of 433.3 yards and 31.1 points per game. Theyre ranked 88th in both categories.Andersen cautioned not to be fooled by Oregons slump this season.Do I worry about our kids getting over hyped? No, we talked about it today, Andersen said. You walk into these games and you respect your opponent. You expect to go out and play well, you expect to win, and thats what you do against every opponent that you play. Does this game have a little extra energy, a little extra juice? It should because its your last regular season game of the season. Youre playing against your rival.

ARDSLEY, New York -- Kristaps Porzingis has clear expectations for the New York Knicks this season.Obviously, the No. 1 goal is the playoffs this year, he said Saturday at a camp he hosted for children in Westchester, New York. Thats where my head is at. I cant be thinking nothing past that. Right now its the playoffs.The Knicks have missed the playoffs for three straight seasons and won just 32 games in 2015-16. But team president Phil Jackson put together a roster designed to win immediately this summer when he traded for Derrick Rose and signed Joakim Noah and Brandon Jennings.Rose has garnered attention this offseason for saying that the Knicks share the same Super Team label as the Golden State Warriors. He also believes the Knicks have the talent to win every game they play this season. Porzingis said Saturday that he appreciates Roses confidence.I dont know whats a Super Team and whats not a Super Team but what I think he meant was that were able to win every game, the second-year forward/center said. Not that were going to win 82 games, zero (losses). But every team that comes up, were able to beat them because we have enough talent. I think thats what he meant and I like the confidence, I like that he believes that were good enough. So its just, now weve got to prove it. Its enough talking and weve got to go out on the court and prove that were a good team.The addition of Rose has led some to wonder if Porzingis will get fewer touches and shots in the coming season. Both Rose and Carmelo Anthony have had the ball in their hands extensively over the course of their careers; they each used more than 27 percent of their teams possessions while on the floor last season.Will that leave fewer touches for Porzingis this season?Thats secondary for me, he said. If we can win games, it doesnt matterr who is scoring.dddddddddddd If we as a team can win [it doesnt] matter who is taking how many shots, at least for me. So if we all have that same mentality then were going to be fine.... Its just as simple as that.Some observers also feel that the Knicks decision to put together a team built to win immediately -- rather than a club that can develop slowly around Porzingis timeline -- will impact his long-term growth. But Porzingis doesnt see it that way.Not really. I know, [with] the team drafting me, they want me to grow and grow into a star, a superstar. So I believe that theyre going to help me grow, he said. And they know the type of guy that I am. When I have difficulties, I will not complain.... If were winning, thats all that matters to me. If were winning, Ill be happy. And that can help me grow. Last season helped me grow because we lost, and thats a lot to take mentally. But as long as were winning and Im playing hard and with intensity -- and I have the right mindset -- then well be fine.To that end, Porzingis and some other Knicks have been working out at the team facility and the gym in his building in Manhattan in recent days. Porzingis has been impressed by playing with Rose, who is a defendant in a civil suit involving an alleged sexual assault that is set to go to trial on Oct. 4.How explosive he is and everything, hes still got it, said Porzingis, who weighs between 238-240 pounds entering training camp. Hes still Derrick Rose. And so it will be exciting to play with him. He draws so much attention when hes driving hes so dangerous that Im going to be wide open and thats what Im looking forward to. Hes going to be creating for me and other teammates. ' ' '
